New to Overclocking

Hi so I have a 6700k and gigabyte z170 gaming 7 mother board aswell as ram running at 3866.

So in the bios I changed the voltage to 1.35 to get 4.5ghz. But when I ready a benchmark or stress test the voltage goes to like 1.28. In cpu z or corsair it shows 1.35 volts at idle do something and it drops down. All the benchmarks and stress tests work.

Where in the bios can I put some way to when the voltage go up for down? If I completely but voltage to auto then it idles at lower voltage and adjusts.

And be a bios update I got 4.7ghz on a h80i v2. Just by changing the multiplier and leaving the voltage on auto. But I believe it would go to 1.39v and be 85c+. But I have a h115i now

Thanks

It's called Voltage Droop and is what LLC (or Load Line Calibration) is for. It applies more voltage when the CPU is under load so that voltage does not fall below stability.

increase LLC.
